Ceramics based on the by-products of mineral industry and wastes of alumina production

The possibility of obtaining chemically resistant plastic molding ceramics from masses on the basis of the complex use of associated mining products (plagioporphyr, quartz-biotite shale), alumina production waste (red mud) and polymineral clay is shown. The mechanism of intensification of sintering of masses with the introduction of a finely dispersed softener-flux and an increase in the alkali resistance of the material (up to 95%) during the formation of the crystalline system hematite - anorthite - quartz.
